General Conference is where we start the first weekend in April each year. In our house that usually means something yummy will be made. Air made donuts this year, and they were ….very very yummy.

↓↓↓Ever since Ames could talk he’s been talking about his imaginary friend “Tofeeover” (he pronounces it toe-fee-over)… We have learned from him that she is a girl and pretty much any time we ask him how he knew something he says, “Tofeeover told me”. It’s all very strange and cute//Here he in on his favorite perch↓↓↓

↓↓↓We don’t get to go to many weddings here in Canada because Air’s family is so small, so we were all really excited when Air’s cousin’s daughter Abby got married and asked us to take photos for them. We love Abby and Corey, especially since we taught them seminary back in the day… they are awesome people!
